What if my PC is not next to a telephone socket?
If your PC/network point is not next to a telephone socket then you will need to install a BT approved extension kit and plug your micro-filter into this. Extension kits are available from a variety of suppliers. The extension must be no more than 30 metres from a telephone socket.
Alternatively, you might consider installing a 'Wireless' ADSL router, whereby the ADSL wireless router would plug into your telephone socket and provide a wireless network connection for computer(s) within your home or office. You would also need to install a compatible wireless network card in your computer(s). This would enable you to move your computer to where you wished within reception range. A wide variety of manufacturers provide wireless networking solutions with ADSL routers, please check with them for requirements and compatibility.
